The Master's Hammer & Chisel: Day 1

Thanks for following my journey with the new Master's Hammer & Chisel program. This is really setting the bar a little higher for me so I can use all the support I can get! I'm excited about it and I'm really committed to making this work over the next coupe of months. I sure hope some of you will be inspired and will want to join me in the official challenge group that starts January 4.

Since this is an all new program, it took a little preparation over the
weekend to make sure I had everything in place. I already have free weights, a pull up bar, a bench and stability ball so I'm good to go as far as having the right equipment.

This pull-up bar is so convenient! It easily slips over a standard door frame in seconds, no assembly required!

Meal Planning

It took me about an hour to study the nutritional plan and make my menu for the week but it's very similar to 21 Day Fix so if you're familiar with that meal plan it will be an easy transition into H&C. You can select from the same 21 day Fix recipes that you love including those found in Fixate Cookbook and on www.teambeachbody.com. I know my family has an action packed week ahead of us so I made sure to plan on meals that I am able to prepare ahead of time and then everyone can simply reheat when they come home and are ready to eat. These are all quick and easy recipes and most of them can be found in the recipe section of this blog. Here's what our menu for the week looks like:

Today's workout was Chisel balance with Autumn. It's a 40 minute workout that is designed to help you improve your balance - something I definitely need to work on! This goal of this routine is to strengthen your core, improve your performance and prepares you to put yourself to the test while avoiding injury.

There isn't any jumping or cardio with this workout, so it's friendly on the joints but it really is a challenge. You will FEEL THE BURN! I know my limitations and today I modified my way through most of the moves. Most of the time I didn't even use free weights, but here's the deal - I didn't quit. I worked it to the best of my ability and I know that 60 days from now I will have no problem keeping up with Autumn and the gang. Hammer and Chisel will definitely put you to the test but it's not mission impossible. It's just something that you need to stay committed to from start to finish. Stay tuned tomorrow for Hammer Plyometrics with Sagi!
